I spent last weekend in NYC and Nicole joined me for part of the visit. Naturally we spent half our time talking about food, and much of it was about quinoa, avocados, and coconut. Yep, we’re that cool, chatting about complete proteins and heart-healthy fats. All that chit-chat about quinoa and avocados inspired me to [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve had a blogworthy breakfast. In fact, it’s been a while since I last posted. So I’m happy to share my latest morning invention with you: Apple Cobbler Oatmeal. I was testing this recipe out for another project I’m working on, but it was too good not to share with [...]

Last week I received a few packs of Arnold Sandwich Thins from the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program. Love food mail! And love Sandwich Thins. My mom bought them for us a few years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since. When I make sandwiches, I don’t love using basic bread (bo-ring!). For me, wraps, tortillas, pitas, [...]

When the amazing award winning nutritionist, cookbook author and teacherRobyn Webb asked me to guest post on her Fabulous Food Finds blog, I was happy to contribute! In addition to being a culinary queen, Robyn is a fellow Syracuse University alumni (Go Orange!) and also gave me some valuable tips for when we traveled to Italy. I [...]

I’ve been reading The Wednesday Chef blog for as long as I have been reading food blogs, and this particular post for Francis Lam’s Let-My-Eggplant-Go-Free! Spaghetti caught my eye. The Wednesday Chef has a way with words, especially when those words are about food. I find my mouth watering every time I read a new [...]

Gazpacho is one of my favorite summer foods to eat, so I have no idea why it’s taken me until August to whip up a batch. I know not everyone loves cold soups as much as I do – Funk included – so I took advantage of a night he was out on the town [...]

This past weekend, Elizabeth and I packed our (day) bags and headed out to visit Jess for a little Stay-cation day of R & R & Food. Obviously. What do 2 dietitians and 1 RD-to-be like to do for fun? Hit up Chili and Salsa festivals in New Hampshire, of course. We went to a hoppin’ [...]

People have been telling me I have the best luck lately. I don’t know why. I mean, I guess, considering I won us a trip to Italy and our wedding invitations in the same week, but given some recent injuries, I feel like the unluckiest person on earth. And then I won again and I’m [...]

If you’re a healthy living blogger, chances are you were glued to the Today Show Thursday morning at 8:35am to watch Caitlin Boyle’s interview on Operation Beautiful, and it was well worth it – she was fabulous!

Caitlin started the Operation Beautiful movement, inspiring people to end negative thoughts and fat talk, and transform the way [...]

 
I was contacted by the Food Should Taste Good chip people recently to taste their products. Asking me to taste these chips is like asking someone else to sample an all-you-can-eat ice cream buffet, or the best chocolate in the world. Tortilla chips are my food vice. More specifically, Food Should Taste Good chips are [...]
